Amanita citrina

This mushroom has a fleshy pale yellow, or sometimes white, cap from across, covered in irregular patches. The gills and flesh are white. There is a large volva at the base of the tall stem, which has a clear ring. The mushroom has a smell of rapeseed or potato. ==Distribution and habitat==

The false death cap is found in deciduous and coniferous woodlands in autumn in Europe. It is also found in North American oak and pine forests. ==Toxicity==

This mushroom contains the alpha-amanitin toxin, but possibly in small enough amounts that would not cause adverse effects unless ingested at high quantity. It also contains the toxin bufotenin. Although it is considered inedible, the biggest danger with this species is its marked similarity to the death cap.
